Webcams and Pier information

wonder_lander · 25 Jun 2008 at 21:25

I'm compiling a website that has aricles, information and links relating to the various piers around the UK.

I have plugged in things like local weather and was wondering if any knew of a webcam directory where I can look for feeds that cover the various piers?

Piers covered so far are: Brighton, Blackpool (all 3), Eastbourne, Skegness, Clacton, Southend, Southsea, Great Yarmouth, Weston-Super-Mare and Bournemouth. Anyone recommend other busy piers that I should consider developing articles for?

There's a very long pier at Walton-on-the-Naze in NE Essex that might be worth a gander at.

Sorry, I can't assist in your quest but I'm SO impressed that this thread is 'as per title' .... i.e. you know what the **** you are talking about.

Is there anyone who lives near a pier who would be willing to contribute to my website? I have added an article for the West Pier in Brighton since this thread was started

You live near Wigan now? You where always Leeds way from what I remember.

Is that statement "Wigan" in response to my last post asking for contributions?

No worries

It's a very popular search term so it's definitely on the radar!

Don't know if it really counts as a pier for you but Cardiff Bay has some cams

Penarth Pier in South Wales - not sure about a cam but worthy of inclusion. Good on you for doing this.

You may find the British Association for Leisure Parks Piers and Attractions (BALPPA) could be of help to you if you are taking this seriously. The piers will all be memebers of it.

Thanks for the feedback guys. This is the site www.the-pier.co.uk and I will certainly look at all the ones people have suggested. Anyone feel up though for writing articles about the piers they have suggested? If you look at my site you will see the kind of thing I am looking for.

Let me know if you want me to have a go at improving those page links, it's 30 mins of work and I can do it from the WP admin.
